Portland Fountains Walking Tour

Technically, it's "Portland's Municipal Fountains Tour". Jeff and I did this self-guided walking tour through downtown Portland last week on his birthday. Most of the fountains were on but all of them will be on once summer hits. The tour took us all day as we stopped several places along the way to enjoy some great food and refreshment - the Cheerful Tortoise, Dan & Louis Oyster Bar, Lotus Cardroom & Café, and Buffalo Wild Wings. We didn't do the last/optional fountain because happy hour at Portland City Grill sounded much more appealing by that point of the day! We took pictures of ourselves at each fountain. Fun day!
